Last year in August, the company signed a gas supply deal with PEL, but it could only start using the gas once the agreement was fully approved by regulators.
“The supplemental agreement remains subject to certain regulatory approvals, and utilisation of gas under the GSA shall commence only once all requisite approvals are in place.”
EPQL is an independent power plant (IPP) that operates a 217 MW permeate gas-based plant in Qadirpur, Ghotki.
The plant is a combined cycle plant, with a 1+1+1 configuration including one gas turbine, one heat recovery system generator (HRSG), and one steam turbine.
